CACAO NIBS

Like all of our products, nibs come from seasonal cacaos, produced by smallholders who prioritize quality over quantity.

We select the cacao beans, discarding those that are broken or in poor condition. Then we roast them, with a specific roast for each origin. After roasting, cacao beans go to the winnower where the nibs are separated from the husk. Nibs are not made with any other ingredient, so they are 100% cacao.

Regarding its nutritional aspect, they contain a large amount of minerals, such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, vitamin A. It also contains more phenolic antioxidants than most foods due to being a source of polyphenols.

TANZANIA

KOKOA KAMILI

In Central Tanzania, the Kilombero valley borders Udzungwa Mountain national park. The terroir and genetics of Central Tanzania have the potential to produce outstanding beans. Though, since many years Tanzanian cocoa has been sold to commodity exporters.

Now, thanks to the quality focus of Kokoa Kamili, a better product for a better price is being produced. This substantially improves family income and living standards of the local farmers. Farmers in Kilombero have been practicing organic farming for generations, by default.

The cacao grows in small scale agroforestry, intercropped with bananas, maize, and shade trees. The picking is done manually, and the beans are then fermented 6 days in wooden boxes, then sun-dried on African beds.
